Girl killed in Chicago alley
Details as to what happened to 9-year-old Mya Lyons are still unclear after she was found stabbed in a Chicago alley. An autopsy has shown that it is unlikely she was sexually assaulted.
The 9-year-old had gone to bed about 11 p.m. Monday after telling her grandmother she was tired and wanted to sleep. About 10 minutes later, the family heard a door shut. The noise drew the girl’s father downstairs to investigate, relatives said.
After quickly discovering Mya wasn’t in the house, relatives went outside to search for her. About 15 minutes later, Richard Lyons Sr. found his daughter wounded in a secluded alley near their home. His anguished screams awoke the quiet South Side street where the family has lived for more than two decades.
“No! No! No!” neighbors heard Richard Lyons bellow. “Not my baby! Not my baby!”
